This is one of my wife's favourite hippo photos I also like the arty minimalistic feel here V2 - another one of them lazing amongst the reeds .
I am overwhelmed by the response to the Pearly yesterday !! Thank you so much for your votes and comments and for the much appreciated UA's from:
George, Malcolm, Darryl, Steve, Nathan, Carol, Bill and Moira.
Have a wonderful day - I have to visit the vampire lady again to give another blood sample as they neglected to test the fasting glucose level in my blood last time

Firstly congrats. on the success of yesterday's shot of Pearly, Herman.
And as you say, I too like the minimalistic feel to the V 1 shot: these are big animals and although only a small part of them are breaking the surface, they need a lot of room and a lot of water, and this you have provided for in the shot.
The reeds add some f/g interest and an appropriate base to the scene.
Ronnie.

I am also loving the mods on these Herman, you have given at least three people hours of fun I would argue the mod by Whiterose1 would make a good wall hanging, [well, he's a Yorkshireman, what did you expect] I can see why your wife likes it.

The vampires have more fear of me than I do of them, since when they attempt an extraction they get absolutely nothing.................. It's my blood, and it has taken years of abuse to get it into it's current state.

I'm off to the Cardiologist on Monday to get the results of all the tests I've been having; I know my heart is working because I heard it last week on one of the tests they did, so who needs any better news than that.
